Heartwarming tales of House prices

2007, I have zero interest in viewing houses when the asking price is over double what I consider to be value for money.

    A truly vile website.
    I wish I could remain magnanimous, humble but after years of being patronized by life winners racking up debt and EAs who had the people skills of a hand grenade I'm afraid I will now become a spectacular C**t as I strut around viewings with a large wad of cash or maybe even enough to be mortgage free.

    When I do buy my cheap house in a year or so when it really bites I will behave like lex luther with a deposit. I am unsure yet as to if I will wear a victory cape but I will be an effing monster and they will rue the day.. Will I make an EA get down on all fours and bark like a dog to make a sale? If I do ill video it and put it on here.

    This collapse will be beautiful, no sympathy, nobody forced them to rack up debt or load up BTL. Finally the theft from the young can stop, the sale of debt slavery can end, tv wont be full of ridiculous property shows and we can live in houses and work for a living.

    [While the neighbours, who bought a similar house in 2007, are begging me to be allowed to nibble my hedges for sustenance. At which point, I'll hit them on the head with my cane].

    ...and he's paid 8 months rent since he posted that and prices are up - shame.

    Only another 4 months or so until there's a crash of such proportions vendors are literally begging slightly aroused crashers to take their properties off them.

    I might buy extra beans for the stockpile.

    I locked horns with Banner once before I was banned (or bannered) myself.

    I suggested he stop looking at houses he couldn't afford. He returned with a rant as to how he could afford them they were just overpriced and he wasn't willing to pay that much.

    I pointed out again, that meant he couldn't afford them. At which point he really swallowed his whistle.

    Apparently he is sitting on several million quid in equity and paying £7.50 a month in rent to his landlord for a 10 bedroom house with helipad and swimming pool in Surrey, so doesn't need to buy anyway.

    His perpetual, rather boorish, bragging about how much money he has accumulated as a boomer puts him with odd bedfellows on HPC. He would fit in much better over here.

    They all seem to be quite well off.
    I've already won. I can retire and leave this country tomorrow. And it's all thanks to NOT OWNING A HOUSE.

    If that's so, why spend 10+ years of your life racking up 18k posts on a UK house price crash website?

    Weird.

    Plus they get to eat all the leftover burgers at the end of their shift, so they save on food too.

    Outside of London house prices are far more affordable. I suspect a lot of HPCers are in London or other high price towns

    Also the UK was an odd country, we went from having more homes than France in 1990 and now we have millionS fewer than France

    Don't forget the tennis court, swimming pool, stables and 20arces of prime woodland, fishery and caravan park ha ha
